My own advice.
. don`t open the kiln until the next day, maybe 12 hours longer than that.
Don`t take out the pots until they won`t burn your hands.
A soak is holding at the highest temp, or a bit lower to give the glaze
time to do it`s thing.
A good idea would be to get a pottery book from the library, or order
`Mastering cone 6 Glazes` for next time. It will tell you all that stuff.
Or, spend about a week plowing throught the archives.
Happy holiday from Lela
